Chapter 247: Trust
Grey huffed, unable to believe what was coming out of Hattie’s mouth. He knew that Hattie was fed up with the progress of Victoria Skincare and would like to hasten things up before the CCS award.
And well, despite her tries, she couldn’t get the recipe or win against Victoria Skincare. So, now, she’s trying to make Grey give up on his own.
“Don’t pretend as if you didn’t hear what I’ve just said, ” Hattie muttered with a dark frown on her face.
Grey scoffed. “Because it sounded funny to the ears. Are you scared of losing? Because I don’t know why you would utter such ridiculous things from your mouth,” he taunted.
Linda nodded briefly, in a supportive way. “Yes, Mrs. Hattie. It’s not in our hands to pull out. Every individual is expected to participate in the award–winning program. Pulling out is a crime.
Hattie sent her a dirty stare that Linda adjusted. “Well, I’m not asking you about people’s opinions. I’m telling you what would benefit you. You had better follow this,” she warned in a low voice.
Grey smiled softly. “I’m sorry Miss Hattie but we can’t pull back,” he stood immediately. “If you don’t have anything else to say, I would like for us to end this impromptu meeting,” he remarked.
Hattie regarded him for a moment in anger before she got up. “I know what to do, Grey. Just pull out now when you stil have the time to do so,” she made the final warning before she stepped out with the entourage.
Linda looked at Grey. “What are you going to do?”
“We will never pull out, don’t worry about that. You guys can continue working, I know what to do about it,” he assured and walked out of the office with Linda.
Hattie was trying him and he was going to find a way for her. He would find something to disturb her with so that she wouldn’t be able to disturb any of Grey’s workers until the CCS award.
Alex wasn’t sure about the information he received on the phone. The DNA result he conducted on Grey was out but something was unclear about it.
So, Alex took a drive to the hospital to retrieve the result and read it himself before he would present it to his father. Though his father doubted his claim, he was readily waiting for the result.
Alex took the result and perused it quickly.
A sigh escaped him quickly.
“Boss, is something wrong? ” one of the men asked.
Alex hesitated for a moment before he looked up at the man for a moment. “The DNA doesn’t match. Grey isn’t Hercules, ” he announced and the men released a sigh of relief.
“But If he’s not Hercules, who then is Hercules?”
Grey had to return home immediately, coupled with the fact that he was very tired. He knew Caramel would be at Protos Pubblicita which means they wouldn’t be able to talk until after work.
Though, he was still anxious to ask her about things.
He placed a call to Don immediately after he stepped inside the house.
“Good day boss,” Don boomed from the other side
A soft hand caressing his bare chest woke him up. He was so tired that he didn’t even know when the door opened or when someone entered.
